Nice airport, but the kinks still need to be sorted out. If you can, I suggest carry on only to ease the experience of a new airport.

I think most of the comments here are spot on. But it's true that if you fly further south towards SE Asia, the beaches become increasingly more beautiful. That said, some of the private beaches of the 5 star resorts (along Yalong Bay) are done exquisitely. That will cost a bit more, which is better when enjoyed on the corporate account or splurging for special occasions.
Is the other website run by the local government? It may be valuable to start browsing both websites, as they each offer unique content. Seemed like a fun event.
Hey guys, what are your opinions on good gifts to take to Shanghai or abroad? I've been looking around at some handicrafts but I haven't come across anything that seems practical or really amazing.
For food or bevs, I've seen a lot of tea, coffee, Yunnan ham and mushrooms. Where do you guys go to buy and which brands do you normally stick to?
Any other ideas? I prefer something a little higher quality or unique if possible. Thanks.
If you had the purchasing power to affect the market, I would be grateful as well. I also like the traditional apple pie. But I can make do with the pineapple, however. Give it a go. :)

Had sometime to drop by quickly for some breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere ordered the focaccia sandwich which was nice with the chutney and had a cup of coffee that hit the spot. Both came promptly and were delicious. Didn't get to spend too much time due to an appointment but glad I got a chance to make it out. Will return.
Overall very good brunch experience. Had the eggs benedict, which was a pleasant menu for a young city like Kunming. The bloody mary and coffee was also very good. Atmosphere is a cozy outdoor veranda feel which is lush and airy although amongst a few buildings. Hope they continue the focus on quality and innovation.
Great people who care about what's going on in the shop, everything from the bread to the drinks to the atmosphere. Hope this place keeps promoting the homemade, feel good ingredients type of atmosphere!
Dropped by for brunch and coffee the other day. Great service and decent food. Cozy cafe with a small patio area, suits the purpose.
A solid place. Great food. Extensive menu. I heard it's been around for a while, interesting to see how it grows with Kunming's fast development with the rest of wenlinjie changing quite fast.

Nobel laureate Mo Yan's Yunnan connection
Posted byHmm although personally I believe that gok ultimately has the readers best intention in mind, I can see how one may draw on a few things regarding colluding.
First @scully understands how this may reflect badly on gok. It is natural to assume that relationship because today's journalism is hardly the work on an individual. There are editors and then the ppl who publish it, whether uploading online or printing, who are all reading or screening or editing the article.
Either way, this seems to be resolved and we should just look to the future of gok.
Getting Away: Sapa
Posted byBluppfisk: I have always admired the traditionalist, the purist. The chef from Italy who disdains fusion food yet conjures beautiful rustic recipes.
But why waste energy on a fact of life? 'trek' may appeal to the masses who want to experience 'adventure' but may not be up for a 50 mile trek thru rugged jungle.
People have different needs and wants, respect it or ignore it. Marketers appeal to these needs whether it's the purist like yourself or the more commercial mass market. No need to get worked up.
Mekong drug kingpin stands trial in Kunming
Posted byI think this is a very good start to grow the trade and tourism industry that centers on the Mekong river which flows through China and numerous South East Asian countries. Security and condition of the area is crucial to begin sustainable development to utilize this important backbone in this region.
Lijiang China's number one tourist hotspot
Posted byI believe they mean traditional tourists, not including migrant workers. That's why they noted hotel room bookings as it aligns with travel for leisure.
